I have the following code 

Properties influxProps = new Properties();
InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/influx.properties");
String result = IOUtils.toString(inputStream, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println("INFLUX PROPERTIES : "+result);
influxProps.load(inputStream);
System.out.println("Properties: "+influxProps.toString());

I am able to fetch the file and the result also displays the contents of the file correctly.

But loading of the input stream into influx properties doesn't work. When I try to print out the properties map it prints out nothing.

How do I resolve this. I am not running this code inside a static method.

    Streams are stateful. Once you convert it to string, you're at the end of the stream, so there's nothing left to read. You'll need to open the file again. – shmosel May 18 '18 at 02:45
  • Yes, fixed that works now. – Niranjan May 18 '18 at 02:48

    Since you already loaded the file into memory, use it: `influxProps.load(new StringReader(result))` --- Also, remember to close the `inputStream`. – Andreas May 18 '18 at 03:02
